Exciting times for Raider Nation! Just Win Baby!

Beyond impressive win from Pete Carroll's Raiders in New England. Geno Smith completed 70% of his pass attempts (again) and the team had 9 explosive plays.

Carroll on Geno: "He's a star player in the NFL. He's been doing this for a long time."

1-0 with a 8 day rest before MNF.

@AmericanAi32886 how do we have a 5.5 hour flight from east coast to San Diego with 1 opportunity to get a drink? Nothing for the last 4.5 hours? Give me a break. Just got back from Europe where they came by 8 times in a 9 hour flight. Figure it out!

Nick Saban is the GOAT of college football.

His success is no accident—it’s a product of relentless standards, a refusal to accept mediocrity, and an intense focus on the process.

Here are 10 Reasons that made Saban the GOAT.

1. STANDARDS - Standards Matter. They set the bar and the Tone. In championship programs, standards are clear and known by all.

"The expectations are what they are here, and we don't run around talking about them."

2. MEDIOCRITY - One of his all-time classic quotes. High achievers separate themselves. You are who you hang with. Hang with the best.

"Mediocre people don’t like high achievers, and high achievers don’t like mediocre people."

3. TWO PAINS - There are two pains in life: discipline and disappointment. It is a simple choice. You choose.

"There are two pains in life. There is the pain of discipline and the pain of disappointment. If you can handle the pain of discipline, then you’ll never have to deal with the pain of disappointment."

4. THE PRESENT - The great teams live in the present, in the now, and they control the controllable.

"What happened yesterday is history. What happens tomorrow is a mystery. What we do today makes a difference."

5. LOSING - The most competitive people hate to lose more than they love to win. Losing is a separator.

"I don't like to lose. I don't expect to lose."

6. RESILIENCE - Resilient Teams WIN. They always find a way!

"One thing about championship teams is that they’re resilient. No matter what is thrown at them, no matter how deep the hole, they find a way to bounce back and overcome adversity."

7. FOCUS - Control YOU.

"Eliminate the clutter and all of the things that are going on outside and focus on the things that you can control with how you go about and take care of your business. Take the other team out of the game and make it all about you and what you do."

8. PROCESS - The best coaches and teams are process-oriented. The process is always the PRIZE.

"Process guarantees success. A good process produces good results."

9. THE HOW - The how matters. A lot. Championship teams do not focus on the "what." They focus on "How" they do things.

"We're not going to talk about what we're going to accomplish. We're going to talk about how we're going to do it."

10. TIMELINESS - Simple but true. Showing up on time is about commitment—every day. Details matter.

"Be on time, because it shows you care."
